How did you lose your gaming virginity?

[Aqualung]

I lost it riding Epona.

HUR HUR HUR.

[sub]See what I did there? Yeah.[/sub]

 

[Sir_Tor]

I was 4 to a game called Jazz Rabbit or so.. you were running around as a green rabbit shooting giant blue bulldogs, ah the memories!

 

[Gl1tch]

Tetris for the Gameboy.
However, what really got me into PC gaming was Half-Life and Team Fortress 1.5.
Damn, that was a long time ago... I can't even remember what age I was.

 

[SamuelT]

I started playing with the Atari 2600, Rampage, Pacman and that kind of stuff. Then I got a gameboy and Pokémon Yellow.

I don't know which one was first, really, but I concider Pokémon Yellow my first game ever.

well it was one hot afternoon I was going on my way home from school and there I saw her in all of her brown-ish glory QUAKE 2 i approached her with the words 'Gimme some sugar baby' and so she did

 

[Mr. GameBrain]

6 years old, Legend of Zelda or Super Mario World, (don't remember which one exactly but both are sweet!)

 

[The DSM]

I was in a dark alley when....

OH GAMING.....

Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of time my first game was one of the best of all time, been gaming 9 years since then.

 

[poet_lawreate]

I believe it was Doodlebug on the Amiga. I was very small.

 

[Flying Pilgrim]

I think it was Super Mario 64...and I was maybe 5?

 

[Susan Arendt]

If you don't count Pong, then Space Invaders on the Atari 2600. Or maybe Combat...depends which one my brother and I tried first. (Combat was the pack-in, but my dad bought us Space Invaders, too, so that he could play it.)

 

[Symplify]

Battle Tanx.

Bitchin.

I was 5.

Battle tanks was fucking boss. So was the sequel. FUCKING AMAZING.

But I lost mine in Kindergarten to Super Mario 64, Star Fox 64 (ALSO AMAZING) and the Legend of Zelda: OoT

Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit on the PS1 I was 6 at the time and couldn't read so I asked my dad to buy me the game because it had a picture of a car on it, I enjoyed the game

Back then I didn't really get that you were supposed to beat games I thought of them more as interactive screen-savers so I never saved every time I powered the PS1 on I just played the first level of a game again I don't think I ever saw anything but the first level for most of my early games

 

[El Poncho]

Pokemon Gold i'm sure it was, unless you count Fifa games

 

[wynnsora]

God, I don't know when anymore... I think it was from watching my godfather play the original Sid Meier's pirates one night back when I was really little. My parents were all gamers from the arcade days so I kind of grew up with that kind of stuff. As far as I know the first time I picked up the control was so I could play Super Mario Bros. on the NES.

 

[accountdeletethis]

Commodore 64. Can't remember what the first game was. In my defense, it was 20 years ago.

 

[DazZ.]

My granddad took me to his study and gently pushed his massive floppy into the slot (it was exactly 5¼ inch, quite big in my young hands).

I'm pretty sure it was Fantastic Dizzy on an old huge floppy disk, or Commander Keen/Wolf3d/Prince of Persia. I can't remember, I still have a few of my old 5¼ disks though.

 

[Shynobee]

The first game I ever SAW played was LoZ: Ocarina of Time on my friends N64.

But, the first game I ever owned and played was Pokeman Snap! when my parents bought me an N64 for Christmas.

 

[Acier]

Starcraft

I don't remember when how old I was when I lost it to Raynor. But then he pulled an Ethan Thomas and its kinda embarrassing owning up to that

Although this was really the first game I really got into. I guess 7th Guest would be my real first game. Or maybe Warcraft 2

 

[EvilBug]

When I was 2 with Duck Hunt on my Mom's NES
